🇰🇵 North Korea at the UN: “Our nuclear weapons status is irreversible.”

Before the United Nations General Assembly, DPRK Vice Foreign Minister Kim Son Gyong declared that North Korea’s status as a nuclear-weapon state was anchored “physically and legally” and could not be changed “under any circumstances or by any means.”

Pyongyang describes its nuclear arsenal as a necessary means of protection against external aggression, while at the same time holding the military cooperation between the United States, South Korea, and Japan responsible for the deterioration of security in the region. This statement came one week after Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo officially reaffirmed their goal of the complete denuclearization of the DPRK.

Pyongyang is thus proposing that future negotiations should no longer begin with the question of whether the DPRK will give up nuclear weapons, but with recognition of their existence as a permanent reality.
